1. DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID

To be considered for financial aid from the Harvard Law School Graduate Program, you must complete and submit the online Financial Aid Application (including the Parental Form and, if applicable, the Spouse’s Form) by December 1 for LL.M. applications, and by April 1 for S.J.D. applications. You must submit a Financial Aid Application even if you are also seeking funding through the Fulbright Commission or other programs (e.g., Boas Scholarships) that send your application separately to Harvard Law School.

Your application for financial aid will have no bearing on your application for admission, since the two decision processes are completely separate. Financial aid applications are not reviewed until after admission decisions have been reached.

Please note that we have a very limited time for making financial aid determinations once our admission decisions have been made. If you do not submit your financial aid application until after you learn of your admission, there may be no scholarship funds left at that point.

Continuing S.J.D. students who are applying for financial aid for the next academic year should consult the Graduate Program office for the relevant application deadline.

2. COSTS OF ATTENDANCE

For the LL.M. Program, tuition for the 2015-2016 academic year was $57,200; in addition, the student activity fee and health fees, plus the estimated costs of housing, food, books and supplies, and personal and travel expenses for a single student totaled at least $28,380, for an estimated total of at least $85,580. For 2015-2016, the standard budget for married students called for at least another $15,360 in living expenses for the spouse and at least $7,800 for each child. These amounts do not include the cost of health insurance for a spouse and/or children, which could amount to an additional $9,784 for a family of four or more. For the 2016-2017 academic year, the costs of attendance are likely to increase.

For the S.J.D. Program, the estimated costs of attendance are identical to those for the LL.M. Program. Applicants to the S.J.D. Program who are currently enrolled in the Harvard LL.M. Program may be eligible for reduced tuition under the LL.M. Waiver, and should consult the Application Instructions for the S.J.D. Program for further information.

3. ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL AID

Students who cannot afford the cost of attendance are eligible for financial aid from Harvard Law School. Our financial aid awards are based on the applicant’s demonstrated financial need, as determined from information provided on the Financial Aid Application Form. Financial aid may take the form of grants (scholarships), loans, or a combination of the two. Everyone in the LL.M. class of 2014-2015 who demonstrated financial need received some form of aid, whether as grant and loan or loan only.

4. FINANCIAL AID FOR U.S. CITIZENS AND PERMANENT RESIDENTS

U.S. citizens or permanent residents who wish to apply for financial aid from Harvard Law School must complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form in addition to the online Financial Aid Application for aid from Harvard upon admission to the LL.M. or S.J.D. program. The FAFSA form is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

5. ADDITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Please note that Harvard’s financial aid is need-based only, and that Harvard generally does not provide full-tuition grant awards. To increase the likelihood of substantial grant funding, we encourage you to apply for outside scholarships in addition to HLS financial aid.

International applicants seeking financial assistance should investigate funding sources in their home countries well in advance. Examples of such sources include employers, government agencies, and foundations.

The United States embassy or consulate in an international applicant’s home country may have information on U.S. government grants under the Fulbright program and other information on fellowship opportunities. Note that even if you are seeking funding through Fulbright or other programs (e.g., Boas Scholarships, LASPAU, etc.), you must complete and submit the Graduate Program's online Financial Aid Application if you wish to be considered for financial aid from Harvard Law School.

Applicants who are from certain countries or who meet certain specific criteria may be eligible for a limited number of scholarships administered by Harvard University’s Committee on General Scholarships. For more information, please check the Committee’s website at www.scholarship.harvard.edu. Please note that many of these scholarships have their own application procedures and deadlines, and students wishing to apply for some of these funds must contact committees or agencies in their home countries.

Students receiving financial aid from Harvard must notify the Graduate Program if they receive grants or scholarships from outside sources. We realize that many of you will be applying to outside funding agencies and will not know the status of these applications at the point you apply to Harvard Law School. You should complete the financial aid application by the deadline, and then advise us of the results of your outside grant applications as soon as they become available.

6. ON-CAMPUS “TERM-TIME” EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

In some cases it may be possible for students to undertake part-time employment on campus, e.g., working in the Law School Library or as research assistants for faculty members. Generally speaking, students can expect to earn up to a total of $3,500 over the course of the academic year for 10-12 hours of work per week. The Graduate Program can include an estimate of these earnings in your financial aid award, but cannot arrange these positions for you. If you are interested in such employment, you must seek out a position after arrival at Harvard Law School. Off-campus employment during the year of study is not permitted for international students.

7. COMPLETING AND SUBMITTING YOUR FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION

All applicants who wish to apply for financial aid must complete and submit the online Financial Aid Application (including the Parental Form and, if applicable, the Spouse’s Form) by December 1 for LL.M. applications, and by April 1 for S.J.D. applications.

Please be sure to answer all questions and provide all amounts in U.S. dollars. Do not use any commas (,), periods or full stops (.), or other punctuation marks (e.g., $, ~, £, &, ?, etc.) when entering numerical data. The use of such marks will prevent your financial data from being accurately transmitted. Do not provide decimal data (e.g., values less than $1 should be rounded up or down). If the answer to a quantitative question is “None,” “Zero,” “No value,” or “Not applicable,” please enter the numeral “0” in the appropriate box. The total sum in each category will be automatically calculated by the online form.

Please answer each question carefully and completely. Applicants for financial aid (and their parents and spouse, if applicable) must disclose all actual assets and sources of income, including all resources that are available to fund their studies (e.g., contribution from grandparents).

If you believe that any aspects of your financial situation have not been adequately reflected in the Financial Aid Application form, please provide a description of your special circumstances and type or upload your statement on Page 6 (“Step 3: Uploads”) of the online Financial Aid Application.

You are responsible for assembling and submitting all of the information necessary for evaluating your Financial Aid Application, and for making sure that all related materials are received by the appropriate deadline. We cannot accept financial aid materials sent by fax or email.

8. SUBMITTING THE SPOUSE’S FORM

If an applicant for financial aid is married or will be married during the academic year for which he or she is applying for aid, his or her spouse or spouse-to-be must complete and submit the Spouse’s Form online (pages 7 and 8 of the online Financial Aid Application).

Please be sure to answer all questions on the Spouse’s Form and all amounts in U.S. dollars. Do not use any commas (,), periods or full stops (.), or other punctuation marks (e.g., $, ~, £, &, ?, etc.) when entering numerical data. The use of such marks will prevent your financial data from being accurately transmitted. Do not provide decimal data (e.g., values less than $1 should be rounded up or down). If the answer to a quantitative question is “None,” “Zero,” “No value,” or “Not applicable,” please enter the numeral “0” in the appropriate box. The total sum in each category will be automatically calculated by the online form.

9. SUBMITTING THE PARENTAL FORM

Who must submit the Parental Form: Parents of applicants for financial aid must complete and submit the Parental Form, preferably using the online process. Parental information is required regardless of the applicant’s age. If parental information is not provided, the Graduate Program will not be able to make a need-based aid calculation and may then impute a certain amount of financial contribution from the parents, regardless of their resources. We encourage applicants to share this information with their parents to help them understand the importance of providing parental data.

If parental data cannot be obtained (e.g., due to divorce or death), the applicant should provide a statement explaining why the information is unavailable. This statement should be typed or uploaded on Page 6 (“Step 3: Uploads”) of the online Financial Aid Application.

How to register your parent(s) for the online Parental Form: The Parental Form may be submitted online (the preferred method) or on paper. The online Parental Form asks the same questions as the paper form. To use the online Parental Form, the applicant must register the parent(s) who will be completing this Form by going to Step 4 (“Parental Form”) and following the instructions there. An email from “Embark Online Recommendations” with the subject line “Online Parental Form” and containing instructions, a user name, and a password will be sent to each parent that you register.

NOTE: If your parents will be reporting their financial data jointly, please register ONLY ONE PARENT (the parent who will be completing the form on behalf of both parents). You should register more than one parent ONLY IF each of them will be furnishing his or her financial data separately.

How to access the online Parental Form: Following the instructions in the email described above, your parent(s) will be able to log into the Embark Online System and access the actual Parental Form by clicking on the applicant’s name (i.e., your name), which will appear on the “Home” page.

NOTE: Because the process for submitting the online Parental Form uses the same system as the online recommendations, the “Home” page mentioned above contains references to “recommendation form,” “letter of recommendation,” or “online recommendation.” Please ask your parents to ignore such references and assure them that they are in the correct location for completing the online Parental Form.

How to fill out the online Parental Form: Please remind your parent(s) to read the instructions in the email carefully before proceeding to the online Parental Form. Once they access the online Parental Form, they should answer all questions on the form and provide all amounts in U.S. dollars. They should not use any commas (,), periods or full stops (.), or other punctuation marks (e.g., $, ~, £, &, ?, etc.) when entering numerical data. The use of such marks will prevent their financial data from being accurately transmitted. They should not provide decimal data (e.g., values less than $1 should be rounded up or down). If the answer to a quantitative question is “None,” “Zero,” “No value,” or “Not applicable,” they should enter the numeral “0” in the appropriate box. The total sum in each category will be automatically calculated by the online form.

Parental Form on paper: If your parent(s) would prefer to submit the Parental Form on paper, they should contact the Graduate Program Admissions Office (GPQuery@law.harvard.edu) to ask for a PDF copy of the Parental Form.

Remember that you are responsible for assembling and submitting all of the information necessary for evaluating your Financial Aid Application, and for making sure that all related materials (including the Parental Form if completed on paper) are received by the appropriate deadline. We cannot accept financial aid materials sent by fax or email.

10. VERIFICATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Harvard Law School Graduate Program reserves the right to request bank statements, income tax reports, and other documents verifying the financial information provided.

11. CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY

The Financial Aid Application, together with all supporting materials, becomes the property of the Harvard Law School Graduate Program upon submission. No materials will be returned to the applicant or forwarded to other schools or agencies. All information submitted by the applicant, the applicant’s parents and, where applicable, the applicant’s spouse, will be treated as confidential and, subject to relevant laws, will not be shared with persons outside of Harvard University without the permission of the applicant, the applicant’s parents, or the applicant’s spouse, as appropriate.

12. CHECKING THE STATUS OF YOUR FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION.

Once you successfully submit your Financial Aid Application online, you will receive an email from "Harvard Law School Financial Aid" confirming that your Financial Aid Application has been received. If you believe you have already submitted your online Financial Aid Application, but did not receive this confirmation email, please contact GPQuery@law.harvard.edu using the subject line "Financial Aid Application submission problem" and provide your full name as you entered it on your application, so we can investigate whether your Financial Aid Application was successfully transmitted.

Other than in the limited circumstances described above, we regret that we are not able to reply to telephone, fax, email, or in-person inquiries asking us to confirm receipt of financial aid application materials or to indicate application status.

Keep in mind that financial aid applications will not be reviewed until after admission decisions have been made. Therefore, once your Financial Aid Application has been successfully submitted, there will be no further information on the status of your application until several weeks after admission decisions have been announced.

13. FINANCIAL AID DECISIONS

Financial aid decisions for most admitted LL.M. applicants will generally be made by early April, and by mid- to late June for most newly admitted S.J.D. applicants. (Decisions for continuing S.J.D. candidates will generally be made by early July.) If you are facing a deadline for acceptance from another school, you may contact the Graduate Program office and we will do our best to give you an indication of your status where available. Once financial aid decisions have been reached, you will be notified promptly via email.

Any award of financial aid from Harvard Law School is provisional, and may be reduced or rescinded completely due to a change in your financial circumstances. If you are the recipient of financial aid from Harvard Law School, you must immediately notify the Graduate Program of any changes in your financial situation, including being awarded a grant or scholarship from outside sources. Failure to report promptly the receipt of grants or scholarships from outside sources may be the basis for denial or rescission of financial aid from Harvard Law School.
